How long do wasp alarm pheromones last?

Three days ago I was walking at a creek trail near my house and got stung on my leg by what I'm pretty sure was a yellowjacket (didn't get a good look). Then today I was finally brave enough to walk there again and got stung again on my leg about five inches away from the first sting. I was stung while walking in the same general area, so I figure there's a nest around there, and they're getting cranky cause it's fall, but is that the only reason why I got stung again? It's so near the first sting. And I've been walking at that trail practically every day for like a decade and I'd never been stung there until now.

What kinda wasp is this?

2 of these guys have decided to make the apartment their home, being afraid of wasps from previous encounters I just want them to leave, what should I do? EDIT: Trapped them and got them out safely, thanks for the help!

What kind of wasp is this?

Sorry I don’t have any clearer images, it’s high on the ceiling and I don’t want to get closer in case it attacks me 😭

It doesn’t appear to have any coloring except maybe on its legs? It’s in my house 😭😭

Sorry ETA: Michigan, and I’m not usually near wasps so I can’t compare very well but maybe medium sized? It hasn’t really done anything but fly around a little and stay on the ceiling but idk how long it’s been there before I found it

I Found What I believe To Be Some Kind of Wasp Nest On the Heater Part of My Bathroom Fan That Died.

Has at least two pods inside, with what look like developing bodies. What kind of wasps are these? Is it recent? Are there possibly more? Should I be worried? I am in Delaware. The Pods are about the size of a vitamin pill or Tylenol capsule
